About this business
Dona Esther's Mexican Restaurant can only be described as a labor of love. Our place embodies the feeling of a family kitchen -- full of laughter, friendly faces, and delicious food. We've become a place for travelers and locals alike to relax and revive over a plate of our famous chicharron, enchiladas, or chile relleno (just to name a few). Pair it with a margarita, sit back, and let our family get to know yours.

Excellent all the way around.. definitely going back :)
I've been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. I am shocked to read so many negative reviews. I don't need a menu, I order the same thing every time....I get the shredded beef enchiladas plate which comes with beans and rice and 2 enchiladas($10.95) The portion is huge, the enchilada sauce is awesome! I never leave hungry. I will usually order a small pitcher of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, a bargain at $5.95. As a self admitted beer snob, II've been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience.... read more
when I am visiting San Juan Bautista which I love to do more often and craving for good food which i usually do here is a safe bet to go - in fact I have been here about 4 to 5 times - consistently good service, food and price for what you get. Make sure you walk it off by visiting the many antique shops because the portions are good size!
Love this place... especially their home made chicken noodle soup. Been there multiple times and keep going back.
Dona Esther's restaurant offers a great environment. The food is great, their brunch buffet is awesome and everyone is so friendly. It is a Mexican restaurant and the food is very authentic. The Menudo tastes home made, enchiladas, flautas, chimichangas and lots more. They have outdoor seating in a covered patio. Me and my honey love taking a small drive to this great restaurant on a sunny Sunday morning and listen to a great trio play while enjoying great food. Go!
I love the tamales here and the chips and salsa! Very yummy!
I love the artichoke enchiladas! I travel ALL THE WAY FROM SAN JOSE just to get these enchiladas!! I also take an order for mom! They are super flavorful, yum!
This is my all time favorite resturant for authentic mexican food! What else can I say about a place that sponsored my little league team when I was 7 years old and STILL has my team picture on the wall? Well, how about the latest time I've been there...I went with 2 friends after golfing 18 holes and STARVING! We ate around 7:30 on a Sunday night. The atmosphere was great upon entering, with a gentleman playing guitar and we were seated within seconds. Chips, salsa and waters were delivered shortly after that. We went throu... read more
If you like Old School Mexican then you won't be disappointed and I wasn't, even though I prefer the newer, lighter style Mexican. Just love that you can ask for flour chips and get them in addition to corn chops. I am a chipaholic so this was heaven. The guacamole was good too, washed down by the Old School margaritas by the pitcher. I would skip the enchilada next time because that heavy, bland style is not my taste but it was good for what it was. I liked the old decor. It was nostalgic. If you go to this restaurant, know... read more
